Methods of Submitting an ABBM or FPCA
NEW LAW: House Bill 3107 (2021)-Effective September 1, 2021, voters who are disabled or 65 or older, may now personally deliver their ABBM or FPCA to the early voting clerk not later than the close of regular business in the early voting clerk’s office or 12 noon, whichever is later, on the 11th day before election day (unless that day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal state or national holiday, in which case the last day is the first preceding regular business day.) 
This method does not apply to voting by mail due to absence from the county of residence.
*For the constitutional amendment election, this deadline is Friday, October 22, 2021
Sections 84.007, 84.008, and 101.052 Texas Election Code.

Faxed or Emailed Application
-If an ABBM is faxed or emailed or if an FPCA is faxed, then the applicant must submit the ORIGINAL application BY MAIL to the early voting clerk so that the early voting clerk receives the original no later than the 4th business day after receiving the emailed or faxed ABBM or faxed FPCA.
- If the early voting clerk does not receive the original ABBM or FPCA by that deadline, then the emailed or faxed ABBM or faxed FPCA will be considered incomplete, and the early voting clerk may NOT send the applicant a ballot. The early voting clerk should retain a copy of the FPCA for their own records, but should send the FPCA submitted by the voter to the Voter Registrar for registration purposes.
Section 84.007, Texas Election Code
